This book would be a lot better if the author did not insist on explaining things a few chapters after they show up in the story. It was odd the first couple of times, then got really annoying, enough to keep jerking my out of the flow of the story.

Graydon: Stop playing games. The reader is not a cat toy to be batted around for your amusement.

Docked a star for that stuff. Other than that, this is a great book.
